Didn't Make Every Second Count

I hate that we didn't have time

I hate that you couldn't stay

I hate that we never got to know each other

I hate that you were ripped away

 

Fate chose for you to leave

Fate chose for me to grieve

Fate chose for you to answer the call

but was it really fate at all?

 

It doesn't seem fair

It doesn't seem like it happened

It doesn't seem like I ever really knew you

when I look back it all seems blackened

 

Blackened by youth

Blackened by lack of knowledge

Blackened by not knowing the truth

That time would soon bring me to aknowledge

 

mom used to say hate

was a really strong word

that is was better to dislike

or to strongly abhor

 

but only hate can be used to describe 

the feeling that I get

when I think of the short time

and when I feel the regret

 

so I hate that we didn't have time

and I hate that you couldn't stay

because if I had known how little time we had

maybe, just maybe

the time we had wouldn't have already slipped away
